Project: Iowa River Trail Connection
NARRATIVE
Proiect Description
The proposed project will construct a 0.45-mile-long, 12-foot-wide concrete trail along the
north side of the Iowa River Landing. The trail will extend from the 1st Avenue Trail, starting
near the 1st Avenue & Iowa River Landing Place intersection, to the Iowa River Trail that
currently ends near the Iowa River behind the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
This new segment will provide a critical connection between the north -south 1st Avenue Trail,
which serves multiple areas of Coralville, and the Iowa River Trail, which extends toward Iowa
City and the University of Iowa. By closing this gap, the project will enhance regional trail
connectivity, improve accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists, and promote active
transportation within the community.
Proiect Impact
This 0.45-mile trail segment is an important missing link between the Iowa River Trail and the
1st Avenue Trail around the north side of the Iowa River Landing. Currently, bicyclists and
pedestrians traveling between these two trails must cross multiple streets and use sidepaths.
By constructing this new trail segment, the project will create a safe, off-street connection that
eliminates conflicts with traffic and removes the need for street crossings. The 12-foot-wide
concrete path will offer a dedicated multi -use facility for pedestrians and cyclists, ensuring a
continuous, accessible, and stress -free route between the Iowa River Trail and the 1st Avenue
Trail. This new connection is particularly important as the 1st Avenue Trail continues to the
Clear Creek Trail to the south and the Oakdale Boulevard Trail to the north, further enhancing
regional trail access. The design will meet ADA standards, making it accessible for individuals of
all ages and abilities, including those using mobility aids, wheelchairs, and strollers.
Beyond its role as a transportation corridor, this project will improve quality of life by
promoting active lifestyles, expanding opportunities for outdoor recreation, and strengthening
community connections. The trail will provide a safe and scenic route for walking, running, and
biking, making it easier for residents and visitors to enjoy time outdoors and stay active.
Page 1 of 4
The project will also enhance Coralville's appeal as a destination, particularly within the Iowa
River Landing, a popular area for shopping, dining, entertainment, and events. By improving
trail access, this project will help attract more visitors, support local businesses, and strengthen
the area's reputation as a vibrant, walkable destination. The new link to the Iowa River Trail will
also support eco-tourism and outdoor recreation by increasing exposure to the Iowa River
Landing Wetlands Park and Coralville's riverfront, adding to the area's reputation as a great
place to explore.
Beyond its role as a recreational and transportation corridor, the trail will also serve an
important functional purpose by providing maintenance access to stormwater pump stations
along the route. This dual -use design enhances public infrastructure efficiency while
maintaining the natural character of the surrounding area.
Alignment with Local and Regional Planning Documents
This project is the final piece of a key trail network gap between communities identified in page
29 of the Metro Area Bicycles Master Plan developed by the Metropolitan Planning
Organization of Johnson County (MPOJC). Completing this segment would close the identified
gap and support the regional goals for improving bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure,
enhancing connectivity, and promoting active transportation throughout the metro area.
Metro Area Bicycles Master Plan:
httos://www. icRov.orR/home/showou bl isheddocu ment/248/638104214217300000
Federal -aid Proiect Development Process. Understanding. and Caoacity
The City of Coralville has significant experience managing federally funded projects and is
familiar with the requirements and processes involved. Recent projects that demonstrate this
capacity include the Iowa River Trail Project between Iowa City and Coralville and the Clear
Creek Trail Connection Project. Both projects demonstrate the city's ability to successfully
implement similar federally funded trail projects, coordination with multiple agencies, and
adherence to federal project development guidelines.
Coralville staff are well -versed in navigating federal processes, including environmental reviews,
right-of-way acquisition, permitting, and construction oversight. This background ensures the
city is well -prepared to manage federally funded projects and deliver the project efficiently
while meeting all necessary requirements.
Contribute Towards Safetv for All Transportation Modes
This project will significantly improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists by providing a
dedicated, off-street trail that minimizes conflicts with vehicular traffic. Currently, users
traveling between the Iowa River Trail and 1st Avenue Trail must either ride in the street
through the Iowa River Landing district or use a sidepath along 1st Avenue.
Page 2 of 4
By creating a 12-foot-wide multi -use trail, this project will provide a safer, more accessible
route for people walking, biking, and using mobility aids. The trail will be fully ADA-compliant,
ensuring safe passage for users of all abilities. Additionally, removing the need for street
crossings along this corridor will further reduce potential conflict points between different
modes of transportation.
This improvement aligns with local and regional goals for enhancing multimodal safety,
supporting active transportation, and creating a more connected, pedestrian -friendly
environment.
Enhancement of Statewide Tourism Benefits
While the primary purpose of this trail segment is to improve local and regional connectivity, it
will also contribute to the broader tourism appeal of the Iowa River Landing. The Iowa River
Landing is a well -established destination that attracts visitors from across Iowa and beyond for
events at the Xtream Arena, GreenState Family Fieldhouse, and Coralville Conference Center,
along with shopping, dining, and entertainment. By improving pedestrian and bicycle access
within this area, the trail will enhance the overall visitor experience, making it easier for people
to explore the Iowa River Landing and connect to surrounding amenities.
While this segment alone may not draw out-of-state visitors, it supports the larger goal of
expanding Iowa's reputation for high -quality recreational trails, which play a role in attracting
cyclists and trail users. This project contributes to the state's investment in outdoor recreation
and active tourism.
Need for the Proposed Proiect
This project closes a key gap between the Iowa River Trail and 1st Avenue Trail, providing a
safe, off-street route for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit -dependent residents. It improves
mobility for those who rely on biking or walking as their primary mode of transportation,
enhances regional trail connectivity, and supports active transportation, ensuring a safer and
more accessible network as demand grows.
Improve Accessibilitv
The 12-foot-wide concrete trail will be designed with gentle slopes to accommodate
wheelchairs, mobility aids, and strollers, ensuring a smooth and accessible route. Careful
attention will be given to longitudinal and cross slopes to meet modern accessibility standards,
creating a safe, inclusive, and user-friendly connection within Coralville's trail network.
Page 3 of 4
Lone Term Maintenance Plan
The City of Coralville will be responsible for maintaining the trail as part of its existing trail
system. Routine maintenance will include surface inspections, debris removal, vegetation
management, and snow clearing to ensure year-round usability. Any necessary repairs will be
addressed as part of the city's ongoing Sidewalk Repair Program, ensuring the trail remains safe
and accessible for all users.
Proiect Readiness
The City of Coralville owns the land needed for the trail, ensuring there are no right-of-way
acquisition delays. Magellan Midstream Partners, which operates the existing pipeline along the
proposed alignment, has already been informed of the project. Coordination with Magellan and
other necessary stakeholders will continue to ensure compliance with all requirements, allowing
for a smooth project development process.
Public Input Process
The proposed Iowa River Trail Connection along the north side of the Iowa River Landing was first
documented in 2004 as part of the Iowa Riverfront Open Space Master Plan that involved City
staff, consultants, and members of the community. This plan was updated with Iowa Riverfront
Master Plan in 2012 that also included a committee made up of City staff, consultants, and
members of the community. Two public open houses were held to review the 2012 plan. Key
stakeholders within the Iowa River Landing will be involved in the preliminary design of the trail
project.
This project directly supports the goals of the most recent MPO Long -Range Transportation Plan
by improving bicycle and pedestrian connectivity, enhancing safety, and promoting active
transportation. As identified in the Metro Area Bicycle Master Plan, it closes a key gap in the
regional trail network, creating a safer, more accessible route for all users. By linking existing
trails and improving multimodal access, the project aligns with regional long-range plan
